  1. You can’t generalise about the population of an entire city Dave. Coming from Seaton Delaval I can see why the working classes might upset someone as sensitive as yourself but ffs you’re sounding like Stevie
  2. Man City are brilliant but I feel we’ll have a chance, they’ll always leave space for us because they’ll come and attack us 🤷🏻‍♂️ and we know we can exploit that nowadays Man Utd are much improved under Ten Hag. Mind if you look player for player there’s not many that I’d take over who we’ve got…. maybe Rashford, maybe the Varane we saw in Qatar? 🤔
  3. So is Drre not only a doctor but also a lawyer? 🤔
  4. It was a newspaper advert for the broadcast of an European tie on channel 5 whilst Gullit was manager , the spiel was something like SEXY FOOTBALL, CHANNEL 5 TONIGHT AT 7 :45pm Then the mocked up picture of Batty below . Google doesn’t appear to have the original advert in full but that might just be me being useless (I’ll get HMHM or the broken doll to have a go, they’re internet genii ) The game was almost certainly v Partizan Belgrade in the old cup winners cup which I think was the only European game Gullit was in charge for. Happy to be corrected on that..
  5. There’s a 2 in 3 chance we’re going to get one of the ugly sisters from mancyland in the semis, I think all talk of the final should be banned
  6. So we’re on sky, does that mean because it’s the Carabao there’s no streams for Man Utd at Old Trafford v Charlton ??
  7. “ghan hame” in kale valley… talking of which Lucas De Bolle ripping it up for Hamilton Accies at the moment btw
  8. We should make a Toontastic retirement crèche, put the non productive and pre senile like you and Robin Robin in it
  9. It’s fuckin lovely isn’t it? We’d say “tway” for two, which I realised when we went to Breda in the UEFA cup is precisely how the Dutch pronounce “two” ie as in Willem II F.C. who play in nearby Tilburg, a local explained the club is named after Prince William the 2nd, or as they say “Willem Tway” …. I’ve since learned the make up of the Anglo Saxons who settled the north east and eastern Scotland were from all over what is now northern Germany, Denmark and Holland, and some of how they spoke is still with us today 👍
  10. Was giving this a miss then started to regret it, but I’ve not been out the house since Friday with a rotten cold so I wouldn’t have been going anyway….not sure if that’s a win? 🤔
  11. Stand by for a knock at the door this weekend if I get nicked @Gemmill I’ll send you a visitors pass from jail , bring a cake with a file in it :D
  12. SIGN THE PETITION ✊🏻 This is near where the in laws live. Incomers to the area are CUNTS
  13. Aah ok, yeah it was just to illustrate that there’s more than one way to come at this. London is obviously hugely different to the NE but Brentford is a brilliantly well run club. London , especially south London is teaming with young talent in a way that am fairly sure the NE no longer is. Elliot Anderson isn’t ready to contribute at 21… if he was, he would be . There’s time for him but where are the others?… I completely agree with the criticism of Ashley re youth development but perhaps it doesn’t make sense to invest when the raw material is scarce. South London provides more premier league players than anywhere else in the country and the competition to attract them is intense. Looks like Brentford have let others incur all the initial expense then just cherry pick those who didn’t quite make it and saved millions. They may well still make good profits on B team players. Just a personal opinion, but I think the diminishing returns re outstanding young talent coming from traditional Northern industrial “hotbed” areas ie NE, Liverpool/Manchester, Yorkshire coal field, and to me most obviously and sickeningly Scotland . The communities that produced hundreds of great players in the 20th century no longer exist, so the players aren’t coming through. What have we had in the last 20 years? Taylor, Ramage, Carroll, Longy? In the 80s Newcastle had a player of the year award and a Geordie player of the year. Not much need for the latter recently…
